What a great lil spot! Some friends brought me here for one of their Thursday evening wine…read moretastings, and I was blown away by how unique, delicious and reasonably priced they all were. I remember trying a summery white wine I liked, and have since gotten a great juicy red bottle. While wine is their main thang, they also have a nice looking selection of gin, whiskey, bourbon and more. They have a bunch of Italian dry good items, as well as charcuterie items like gourmet crackers and local chocolates... plus there's a freezer full of Jeni's ice cream. I haven't had a chance to try their cheeses yet, but will definitely come back for that! Overall love the product offering and the knowledgeable staff, so will be picking up wine from here from now on.

Met up with a few friends for dinner. We made a 6pm reservation. I called ahead and they confirmed…read morethey could make GF options. Their menu doesn't have anything marked but the server was very knowledgeable. He went through the entire menu and indicated what could be made GF. They do not have GF pasta or bread but they do have a few options for GF crackers. We ordered the crunch party, cheese board with GF crackers, brussels sprouts, and rosemary potato rosti to share. The server made sure to modify everything to be GF and had the potatoes cooked in a separate pan to avoid cross contamination. We also had the GF almond cake. When the staff brought the food, they even acknowledged it was GF before serving. The food and service were fantastic! Really appreciate how knowledgeable and accommodating the staff was. Highly recommend!

Who knew that this neighborhood wine bar would have the best cheese curds in Chicago? I guess it…read moreactually makes sense since they are known for their artisanal cheeses - but wow, these really blew me away! The rest of their cheeses are also fab, the cheese board my group got was phenomenal and it was clear that it was thoughtfully curated together for us. I will say the wine is pricier than not (& the wine in the fridge has a $20 corkage fee), but it's all great quality - worth it if you're looking for a unique wine experience in my opinion. It's small but cute inside, matching the chill vibe of the west side of Chicago. Our server was super friendly and added to the experience with his expertise and great vibes! Check this spot out if you have any sort of wine / cheese passions for sure

Cheese, marvelous cheese!…read more Are you that person with at least five varieties of cheese in your fridge, just in case? Well, I can straight up de-mystify the Stamper Cheese agenda. They are cheese pushers. Like so many artisanal fromage purveyors, their wares suck you in, and you just crave more. Must have fresh mozzarella cheese balls, that is my personal mantra. Twice a week, at either the Federal/Daley/ or Willis Tower Farmers Market, I shuffle up to their booth to score my fix, satiating the gnawing jones of a cheese fiend. The days in between, I try to make it last, stretch it out. Mostly, the fresh mozzarella balls will do. Occasionally, I might venture into a goat cheese gouda, apricot brie, or a nettle infused variety. You know what nettles are? Yeah. They STING you. And apparently, they're good for you too. Only Stamper Cheese would have the cojones to use stinging nettles in their cheese. Get some. It's good. It's a hard cheese variety, and quite tasty. No store front, but they have a Printer's Row Cheese Drop Off. Check their website, Facebook, or better yet, email them for details, since the outdoor Farmers Market season is now over. The winter is that much bleaker without you, Stamper Cheese.

The cheese is good but I wish that they would label the cheeses at the farmers market. I asked what…read morethey were and was given a vague description of these are cheddars, these are goudas, etc. Just look on their website and ask if they have whatever specific flavors that you want. I like the dill garlic curds, string cheese, and dill jack. The mozzarella is just ok.

Five stars, fo shoooo! A group of coworkers and I were in town for a few days together and on the…read morelast night, we were treated to a charcuterie workshop with Cheers to cheese. They came to us, and our office building has a beautiful ,exclusive rooftop. It was the perfect backdrop on an absolutely wonderful afternoon. All of the materials were available, not just the cheese and meats and all that. But also knives, cutting boards, etc. The owner was our instructor and she was the sweetest. Each person in the group got their own kit and they gave us advice on how to arrange things based on flavors and type of item, encouraged our designs and it was really fun. The amount of food we got was insane. I would totally recommend Cheers to Cheese for team gatherings, bachelorette parties, all that stuff. I mean.. Just look at the photos (heart eyes).

Order was delivered on Valentine's Day in the morning to Oak Brook. I asked for an all vegetarian cheese board. This one came with four cheeses and extra accoutrements to make up for the lack of meat. Looks beautiful and customer service is very response. If you ever need a fun cheese board delivered, this is the way to do it. Great gift! The only negative part is that I'm not there to eat it.

The breast is perfectly crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. The variety of meats are so good. The hot giardiniera adds the perfect spice and oil but isn't so oily that the sandwich is dripping from the oil of it. The B. Franklin: my personal favorite. the turkey and cheese are so freaking tummy. my goodness. I don't really love deli turkey but the turkey here is just perfection. the sourdough bread that is used holds all the ingredients well that it doesn't get soggy. Beet Streets: our vegan friends loved this sandwich and loved how hearty it was! The actual shop is small but still has seating to eat lunch or a snack. It's a great space to grab some cheese, wines, and deli meat to go. The service is always great. Deff top 5 sandwich shops in Chicago!

On a recent work trip to Chicago, I had the chance to experience all of Eataly's offerings. During…read moremy first visit, I picked up some sweet treats to enjoy after dinner. First, I explored the endless snack aisles and selected a bag of chocolate-hazelnut biscuits to take home. I couldn't resist the gelato and tried the pistachio flavor (yum!) On my next visit to Eataly a couple of days later, I ordered a cappuccino, and while my beverage took a long time to prepare, the espresso tasted very high quality. The pastries looked stunning and decadent, and I imagine they'd pair wonderfully with espresso if you have time to linger at the cafe (I was in a hurry to get to a work meeting). The next day, my team and I visited Eataly's restaurant for lunch. I selected the anchovy toast as my starter and the gnocchi for my main as part of the lunch special. The toast consisted of two slices of sourdough bread topped with creamy lemon spread and anchovies. The contrast of the bright lemon flavor with the ultra-salty anchovies was tempered by the creamy butter - these all paired together quite well. The gnocchi, on the other hand, was underwhelming. The gnocchi was much too soft (it had the texture of mashed potatoes), and the red sauce was bland. All in all, visiting Eataly was a cool way to experience gourmet Italian food.

We have never been here before and saw they offered a summer Fridays tasting event. The event…read moreitself I wouldn't recommend - they give you tiny sample portions of preselected items on paper hotdog containers. Considering this place is supposed to have some class, we were pretty appalled that they seemed to do the bare minimum for this event. I felt very deceived by how this event was advertised online vs in real life. It seems they intentionally left out details and was marketed as five tastings at five counters, but we receieved barely a sample at each sation. The website said 1. house made pasta - you have one option and it was three bites, no vegetarian option 2. roman-style pizza - only thing I won't complain about although still a small portion 3. Curated drink from Caffe Lavazza - this was a dixie cup portion of a blended Frappuccino 4. house made pastry - they gave you the option of literal bite sized dessert, not a whole pastry 5. the artisanal salumi and formaggi - pathetic, literally 1 piece of meat, three pieces of the same type of cheeses, three olives, and dry stale crackers. Honestly for what they offer this was a slap in the face and from a consumer perspective Eataly's attempt at a summer money making scheme. I would find it hard to believe anyone who rave about this event, in fact I imagine most left very underwhelmed and still hungry. Eataly itself might be a great experience but we did not have the opportunity. We enjoyed the spritz drinks we ordered for their $9 summer special but this event did not make me want to return at all. It unfortunately dangled everything they could have offered in front of us, but then gave us the lowest tier. Driving in traffic to do this was not worth the time, gas, parking or inconvenience and the best part of our city night was when we stepped out of Eataly.
